Becouse Samba must at some stage become a normal unix user, share level
secuirty isn't really an option as you would expect (ie password =
MYSHAREPASS) - but I can see one way in which it could be made possible:

Add a new unix account for that particular share.  Make it own all the
files to be shared.  Give it a password and smbpassword (if applicable)
and use 'username =' to set the user.  Then again I might just be
talking through my hat...  In any case read the appropriate section of
the smb.conf man page.

Hope this helps,
Andrew Bartlett
